* BrokenPedestal: It's not a perfect one to one, but this is how I sometimes describe my feelings towards {{Series/Arrowverse}} these days; I used to hold it in very high regard, but repeated missteps in writing have made it impossible for me to enjoy it the way I once did.



* {{ComicBook/X-Men}}




* {{Series/The Flash 2014}}:
** Westallen (Barry and Iris): These two are so adorable! I've always shipped them, but I became an even bigger fan of them after Barry proposed to her by singing a song he'd written.
** Killervibe (Caitlin and Cisco): I started shipping these two towards the end of Season 2. I'm okay with them being just friends, but I also think they'd make a very healthy couple due to just how supportive they are of each other.

* {{WesternAnimation/Were Back A Dinosaurs Story}}- I don't know if I'd call this movie "bad" so much as "weird", but either way I enjoy it. I find it interesting how the premise is mostly {{SugarWiki/SweetDreamsFuel}}- sentient dinosaurs befriend small children and go on adventures with them- and then the villain is pure NightmareFuel!

* CampStraight- I guess I could be a rare female example, whatever you'd call that. I've thought of getting a boy-short haircut, I don't like wearing skirts most of the time (my fashion sense usually ranges from unisex to slightly masculine), my male friends treat me like "one of the boys", and I frequently gush about how beautiful other women are. All of these tend to lead people to assume I'm bi or lesbian, but I'm only attracted to men.



* DoesNotLikeSpam/ PickyEater- My Asperger's comes with taste sensitivity, which leaves me with a lot of different foods I can't eat- but my worst are stuffing (I hate how inconsistent the texture is), most potato products, and peppers (their spiciness makes them physically painful to eat).

And since everyone else seems to be doing this, the three characters that best describe me are: [[Series/TheFlash2014 Caitlin]] [[ComicBook/{{Firestorm}} Snow]] (intelligent, blunt, a bit ambitious, typically nice so long as you don't get on my bad side, rather pessimistic, a big nerd, and very unlucky in love); [[Film/FantasticBeastsAndWhereToFindThem Newt Scamander]] (eccentric, socially awkward, better with animals than with people, and not that great in terms of self-esteem); and [[Film/LittleShopOfHorrors Audrey Fulquard]] (a hopeless romantic, fairly innocent in terms of overall outlook, and addicted to sweet and cute things.) (And if I were allowed a fourth, it would be C-3PO.)

* CuteKitten- I definitely find this preferable to the ''other'' most common cat trope in fiction...



* DecemberDecemberRomance- I find this cute because it essentially proves that you're never too old to find love!



* PerfectlyArrangedMarriage - Honestly, sometimes it's nice to have an arranged marriage not used as a source of drama and to see two people make the best of a less-than-ideal situation.



* StalkingIsFunnyIfItsFemaleAfterMale: Personally, I believe stalking ''can'' be funny in a BlackComedy context. But if the humor solely derives from the fact that the stalker is female- and if the writers wouldn't want you to laugh if the genders were reversed- that's decidedly not funny.

funny. A better way to derive humor for it is to clearly portray the stalker as pathetic and to have them act in a way we don't usually associate with stalkers, such as making them perky instead of outwardly creepy.

''...I still have not recovered from that dream where Enchantress stole my Twizzlers. I am a changed woman.''
-'''Spottedleaf 2020'''


Hi.
I'm ridiculously passionate about the things I love. My username is taken from my favorite character in Warrior Cats. I enjoy roleplaying, writing, and musical theatre. Oh, and I'm a gal, if you were curious. Because ''way'' too many people have called me "he" recently, it bears repeating that I am, in fact, a woman.



Some info about me that doesn't fit under tropes:

* Hogwarts House: Slytherin

* Patronus: Leopard

* Bending Element: Water

* Zodiac: Leo/Tiger

* Myers-Briggs Thingy: ISFP

* I have Asperger's Syndrome, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, and ADHD.

* I prefer cold weather to hot weather, as I'm better at resisting the former.

* I am a Roman Catholic.


And since everyone else seems to be doing this, the three characters that best describe me are: [[Series/TheFlash2014 Caitlin]] [[ComicBook/{{Firestorm}} Snow]] (intelligent, blunt, a bit ambitious, typically nice so long as you don't get on my bad side, rather pessimistic, a big nerd, and very unlucky in love); [[Film/FantasticBeastsAndWhereToFindThem Newt Scamander]] (eccentric, socially awkward, better with animals than with people, and not that great in terms of self-esteem); and [[Film/LittleShopOfHorrors Audrey Fulquard]] (a hopeless romantic, fairly innocent in terms of overall outlook, and addicted to sweet and cute things.) (And if I were allowed a fourth, it would be C-3PO.)

[[folder:Tropes About Me]]

* {{Asexuality}}- My sexual preference is "nope!" To be precise, I'm heteroromantic asexual.
* BerserkButton- Mentioning Autism Speaks in a positive context, or implying autism is caused by vaccines, or using it as an insult.
** Saying "real parents" instead of "biological parents", implying adoptive parents aren't good enough.
** On a lighter note, mentioning the Evil!Spottedleaf AU in a positive light is bound to tick me off, as Canon!Nice!Spottedleaf is the character in Warriors I relate to most (and a major comfort character to boot) and I'm sick of how popular the AU has become- seriously, I can't even Google her without it coming up. Just...It's fine if you like the Evil Spottedleaf AU, but please don't bring it up around me.
** In general, don't bash characters I'm a fan of unless you're stating something that's actually valid. Saying you dislike Bellatrix because she's cruel? Fine and dandy, and accurate. Saying you hate Caitlin Snow because [=SnowBarry=] shippers are annoying? Not fine, and a pathetic excuse for hating her.
** Shipping Caitlin with [[NoYay Amunet Black]]. And really, Amunet Black as a character in general.
** Excessively bashing religions you're not a part of. Having issues with a religion is one thing, but mocking someone else's faith- something important to them- leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
* CampStraight- I guess I could be a rare female example, whatever you'd call that. I've thought of getting a boy-short haircut, I don't like wearing skirts most of the time (my fashion sense usually ranges from unisex to slightly masculine), my male friends treat me like "one of the boys", and I frequently gush about how beautiful other women are- but I'm only attracted to men.
* CatGirl- Haha, I wish. I do sometimes joke that I'm part cat, though, since I can see in the dark pretty well and I get along well with cats. And occasionally I'll wear fake cat ears.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}- I'm known as the weird one in my friend groups.
* CowardlyLion- While my anxiety can be debilitating and sometimes I genuinely can't handle the pressure, I usually find some way to power through whatever's scaring me.
* CreepyLonerGirl: Moreso in my younger years than now, though my loud (and somewhat monotone) voice, MessyHair, and blank expression do still leave some people uneasy. This was probably part of why I had very few friends until high school.
* DoesNotLikeShoes- I basically only wear shoes if I'm in a public place or if I have to go outside. I don't like the way they feel. They're feet traps.
* DoesNotLikeSpam/ PickyEater- My Asperger's comes with taste sensitivity, which leaves me with a lot of different foods I can't eat- but my worst are stuffing (I hate how inconsistent the texture is), most potato products, and peppers (their spiciness makes them physically painful to eat).
* TheEmpath- I feel a lot of empathy for basically everyone. It's not quite on superpower-levels, but it can be very overwhelming and it's both a blessing and a curse. It also makes it hard for me to watch sad movies for long periods of time because I get overwhelmed by how much the characters are suffering. (This is why, despite the fact that Les Mis is one of my favorite movies/musicals, I rarely watch it.) Sometimes it even extends to inanimate objects.
* FanonDiscontinuity: As far as I'm concerned, the SplitPersonalityMerge Caitlin/Killer Frost went through at the end of Season 3 of {{Series/The Flash 2014}} actually stuck.
* FanPreferredCouple- A personal example: while {{Theatre/My Fair Lady}} seems to want us to ship Eliza with Henry Higgins, I prefer her with Freddy, as though his obsessive tendencies are admittedly stalker-ish by today's standards, he's also much nicer towards her and treats her more like a human being. Downplayed, though, as George Bernard Shaw ''definitely'' had Fredliza in mind.
* FragileFlower- My feelings can be pretty delicate.
* FriendlessBackground: I was a social outcast for much of my adolescent years- my best friends were my cats. Luckily, things have improved since then and I have a steady friend group.
* GoodCannotComprehendEvil- or at the very least, Nice Cannot Comprehend Jerk. I will never understand why anyone would intentionally want to be cruel to someone else when being kind is so much easier.
* GlurgeAddict- It is EXTREMELY rare for me to find something [[TastesLikeDiabetes "too cutesy"]] or "sickeningly" sweet. As such, unless the cutesy thing is masking darker intentions, like ableism or other bigotry, there's a good chance I'll latch onto it no matter how cheesy it may be. It's the reason I can't outright hate things aimed at little girls or are over-the-top inspiring- heck, I even kind of like some Lisa Frank merchandise.
* HappilyAdopted- The reason for my second BerserkButton. My parents are amazing and I resent the idea that they're "not real parents" just because they didn't make me.
* InnocentlyInsensitive- Sometimes. And I often feel guilty about it for ''years'' afterwards.
* KindheartedCatLover- I'm a pretty nice person, and I do love cats.
* LoonWithAHeartOfGold- Even though I'm the "weird one" in my friend group and am pretty eccentric, I'm usually pretty nice.
* MistakenForGay- Happens fairly frequently- see CampStraight above for why.
* NervousWreck- I'm a fairly anxious person, and I catastrophize quite a bit. This is partially due to my Generalized Anxiety Disorder, but stressful situations only make it even worse.
* NiceGirl- I'm a pretty kind person.
* NoSocialSkills- A side effect of my Asperger's syndrome.
* NotGoodWithPeople- I still like people, but cats are much easier to understand.
* OlderThanTheyLook: I have a "baby face" and I'm not particularly curvy, so I sometimes get mistaken for a teenager. In actuality, I'm old enough to drink.
* PromotedFangirl- A minor example: I wrote a {{Literature/Harry Potter}} crackfic, titled [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12756784/1/A-Flock-of-Wolves A Flock of Wolves]], out of love for the trope it was named after. Imagine my delight to find that it had been added to [[FlockOfWolves that very trope page!]]
* SuperSenses- A side effect of my Asperger's syndrome. Contrary to what fiction may suggest, it mostly sucks.
* ThatCameOutWrong- To the point that some have compared me to Felicity Smoak from {{Series/Arrow}}.

[[/folder]]

[[folder:Tropes I like]]

* AmnesiacVillainJoinsTheHeroes

* AnIcePerson- My favorite of the ElementalPowers.

* TheAtoner

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment- when done intentionally for the sake of humor.

* BlackBeadEyes- I always find this art style pretty cute. It's part of the reason why I actually like Funko Pop figures.

* CelestialBody- I always find this trope aesthetically pleasing. I particularly love it when [[Literature/WarriorCats StarClan]] cats are depicted like this.

* CivvieSpandex: It can look really cool if done right (and it makes cosplay a lot easier). Batgirl's Rebirth-era outfit is a good example.

* CreepyCute / UglyCute- I love these types of characters!

* TheCutie

* EnmityWithAnObject- This one has never failed to make me laugh!

* HappilyAdopted- Due to being this trope myself.

* HeelFaceTurn

* TheIngenue- Show me a character like this and my maternal instincts immediately kick in.

* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy

* MamaBear- I have a strong fondness for protective moms in fiction. [[Series/{{Arrow}} Moira Queen]] is a standout example for me.

* ReformedButRejected

* ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend- When it's used less as ClingyJealousGirl and more as a romantic equivalent to tropes like PapaWolf, MamaBear, and BigBrotherInstinct. I find it especially fun if the girlfriend doesn't ''look'' like she'd be very threatening.

* WimpFight- Honestly, it's just funny.

* WordSaladHumor- "lol random" doesn't usually do it for me, but elegantly crafted nonsense gets me every time.

BONUS: Favorite Villain Tropes

It feels weird categorizing these under "tropes I like" because I feel like that may suggest some semblance of approval, but here are some of my favorite tropes for villains.

* EntitledToHaveYou/ VillainousCrush/ {{Yandere}}- I find villains that fall under this to be absolutely ''horrifying'' when done right. [[WesternAnimation/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame Judge Claude Frollo]] and [[Series/TheFlash2014 Zoom]] stand out as particularly scary ones to me, but they aren't the only ones.

* EvilIsOneBigHappyFamily- In more comedic works, it can be a nice source of unexpected wholesomeness.

* EvilIsPetty- Excellent both as a source of comedy or even when played for drama (eg. Eobard Thawne in {{Series/The Flash 2014}}. So long as it doesn't cross over into StupidEvil...

* FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse

* TheFundamentalist- But usually only if the heroes are also religious. I find religious fanatic antagonists particularly terrifying because I'm a religious person myself, and it scares me to think I could have ended up like them.

* VillainProtagonist- When done well, they can be really entertaining characters, particularly if they're pitted against another villain. Some of my favorites are Roxie Hart from Chicago and Sweeney Todd.


[[/folder]]

[[folder: Tropes I hate]]

* CatsAreMean - It's overdone, ESPECIALLY in animation, and it's simply not true (I've met far more mean dogs than I have mean cats.)
* BlindWithoutEm- "Hate" is a strong word, but I find this trope really annoying because of how often people assume it applies in real life. Most people who wear glasses (myself included) can still see decently without them- we just need them for certain tasks, such as reading or seeing things that are far away.

* CessationOfExistence- It's literally my worst fear.

* DracoInLeatherPants- To me, this one reeks of lazy writing. I'd much rather read a true redemption story than one about how (insert reasonably attractive villain here) is just a poor misunderstood little baby.

* HollywoodAutism- If you're writing an autistic character, PLEASE do your research. And said research should include more than just the textbook definition.

* HornyDevils- As someone who is sex-repulsed and whose religion teaches that demons are very, very real...this trope makes me extremely uncomfortable. I also dislike succubi being portrayed as sexy, given that their original mythology states that they are ''rapists.''

* PredatorsAreMean- Even as a kid, this one annoyed me. Animals like hawks and cats ''have'' to eat meat to survive because they can't produce their own taurine. It's not their fault, and that shouldn't automatically make them villains. (There was a Powerpuff Girls episode that especially annoyed me due to portraying a hawk in this manner.)

* RonTheDeathEater

* ScavengersAreScum: I understand this one a bit more than I do PredatorsAreMean- there's admittedly something squicky about eating carrion, particularly if it's rotten- but I actually find a lot of scavengers really cool. Vultures, in particular, can actually be downright cute, and some of them, like the California condor, are downright awe-inspiring. Gotta love those majestic chickens.


* StalkingIsFunnyIfItsFemaleAfterMale: Personally, I believe stalking ''can'' be funny in a BlackComedy context. But if the humor solely derives from the fact that the stalker is female- and if the writers wouldn't want you to laugh if the genders were reversed- that's decidedly not funny.

* {{Stripperiffic}}- I don't mind if outfits are a ''little'' sexy, but this is usually too much for me. Unless you've got a really good explanation, like how {{ComicBook/Black Canary}}'s fishnets are part of her rockstar ensemble and she uses the same outfit for both, I'm gonna find it cringeworthy. {{ComicBook/Huntress}}'s exposed stomach and {{ComicBook/Power Girl}}'s boob window are the worst offenders for me (that boob window would create so much drag when she flies!), which is a shame, because I actually really like both of them as characters. That said, this is more of an annoying trope than an actually ''hated'' trope, and the fact that some ''male'' superheroes dress surprisingly skimpily (like Vibe having a plunging neckline or how Dick Grayson!Robin didn't wear pants) makes it a bit more tolerable.

* {{WesternAnimation/The Lion Guard}}- I didn't expect a lot going into this one but it's...actually good. They've dealt with complex themes like death (Simba attending a funeral for an elephant friend of his) and racism (Kion learning that not all hyenas are bad). It's fairly mature for a Disney Junior show, and while it's not perfect, it's still pretty good.

* {{Manga/With The Light}}- By far the most sensitive portrayal of autism I have ever seen in media.
There's nothing here?a clear sense of research and love put into this, and I love the relationship between the autistic child, Hikaru, and his mother, Sachiko.

* {{VideoGame/Lego DC Super Villains}}- This is, no joke, some of the most fun I've ever had playing a video game. (It's also one of only two console games I know of that lets you play as the Caitlin Snow incarnation of Killer Frost.)

* Some of the better DCEU movies, including:

** {{Film/Wonder Woman 2017}}

** {{Film/Shazam}}

** {{Film/Aquaman}}

** {{Film/Birds of Prey 2020}}- This movie was fun and frankly I don't trust people who call it bad.
* {{Series/Forensic Files}}- I normally don't care for true crime shows but something about this one is addictive. I find it fascinating how many things can be evidence, and both Peter Thompson and Bill Camp have soothing voices that take some of the scare factor away. I also like that unlike most true crime shows, they sometimes have episodes that ''aren't'' about murder.

...and many, many others that will be added later.

[[folder:Guilty Pleasures]]

Media that I don't consider "good" from a technical standpoint, but still enjoy, include:

* {{Series/Animorphs}}- While it's extremely low-budget and fails to capture the gritty war story the books told, it's still fun on its own. It falls under NarmCharm for me, and many of the actors give good performances.

* {{Film/Batman And Robin}}- Mainly because Arnold Schwarzenegger and Uma Thurman actually gave pretty good performances. I also don't mind the cheesiness, as it manages to be ''entertainingly'' cheesy.

* {{Film/Christmas With The Kranks}}- I can't hate this movie. It's indecisive about what it wants to be, but it definitely succeeds in delivering humor. I get why people dislike it, but for me, a lot of the jokes are pretty darn funny.

* The Star Wars prequels- There is a lot of cheese, wooden performances, and weird dialogue in these movies, but there's a certain charm to all of it. I genuinely like the romance between Anakin and Padme even if it struggles to be compelling, the special effects are pretty darn good, and it's a joy to watch Yoda in a lightsaber duel. (Also Padme is a total fashion icon and I want every single one of her dresses.)

[[/folder]]

[[folder:Ships I like]]

* {{Theatre/Sweeney Todd The Demon Barber of Fleet Street}}:
** Sweenett (Sweeney Todd/Eleanor Lovett): Honestly, it's hard for me to NOT ship these two. Mrs. Lovett's affection for him is somehow creepy and adorable at the same time!
** Johanthony (Johanna and Anthony): So pure! Anthony just wants to give this pretty girl a good life! How could I disagree with that?

* {{Series/The Flash 2014}}:
** Westallen (Barry and Iris): These two are so adorable! I've always shipped them, but I became an even bigger fan of them after Barry proposed to her by singing a song he'd written.
** Killervibe (Caitlin and Cisco): I started shipping these two towards the end of Season 2. I'm okay with them being just friends, but I also think they'd make a very healthy couple due to just how supportive they are of each other.

* {{Theatre/The Phantom of the Opera}}:
** Raoul and Christine: Seriously, these two set the standard for what I want in a relationship. I want to find my Raoul, someone who'll guard me and guide me and all that. These two are so healthy and sweet and I LOVE them. (Love Never dies is not canon fight me.)

''...I still have not recovered from that dream where Enchantress stole my Twizzlers. I am a changed woman.''
-'''Spottedleaf 2020'''


Hi.
I'm ridiculously passionate about the things I love. My username is taken from my favorite character in Warrior Cats. I enjoy roleplaying, writing, and musical theatre. Oh, and I'm a gal, if you were curious. Because ''way'' too many people have called me "he" recently, it bears repeating that I am, in fact, a woman.



Some info about me that doesn't fit under tropes:

* Hogwarts House: Slytherin

* Patronus: Leopard

* Bending Element: Water

* Zodiac: Leo/Tiger

* Myers-Briggs Thingy: ISFP

* I have Asperger's Syndrome, Generalized Anxiety Disorder, and ADHD.

* I prefer cold weather to hot weather, as I'm better at resisting the former.

* I am a Roman Catholic.


And since everyone else seems to be doing this, the three characters that best describe me are: [[Series/TheFlash2014 Caitlin Snow]] (intelligent, blunt, a bit ambitious, typically nice so long as you don't get on my bad side, rather pessimistic, a big nerd, and very unlucky in love); [[Film/FantasticBeastsAndWhereToFindThem Newt Scamander]] (eccentric, socially awkward, better with animals than with people, and not that great in terms of self-esteem); and [[Film/LittleShopOfHorrors Audrey Fulquard]] (a hopeless romantic, fairly innocent in terms of overall outlook, and addicted to sweet and cute things.) (And if I were allowed a fourth, it would be C-3PO.)

[[foldercontrol]]

[[folder:Tropes About Me]]

* {{Asexuality}}- My sexual preference is "nope!" To be precise, I'm heteroromantic asexual.
* BerserkButton- Mentioning Autism Speaks in a positive context, or implying autism is caused by vaccines, or using it as an insult.
** Saying "real parents" instead of "biological parents", implying adoptive parents aren't good enough.
** On a lighter note, mentioning the Evil!Spottedleaf AU in a positive light is bound to tick me off, as Canon!Nice!Spottedleaf is the character in Warriors I relate to most (and a major comfort character to boot) and I'm sick of how popular the AU has become- seriously, I can't even Google her without it coming up. Just...It's fine if you like the Evil Spottedleaf AU, but please don't bring it up around me.
** In general, don't bash characters I'm a fan of unless you're stating something that's actually valid. Saying you dislike Bellatrix because she's cruel? Fine and dandy, and accurate. Saying you hate Caitlin Snow because [=SnowBarry=] shippers are annoying? Not fine, and a pathetic excuse for hating her.
** Shipping Caitlin with [[NoYay Amunet Black]]. And really, Amunet Black as a character in general.
** Excessively bashing religions you're not a part of. Having issues with a religion is one thing, but mocking someone else's faith- something important to them- leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
* CampStraight- I guess I could be a rare female example, whatever you'd call that. I've thought of getting a boy-short haircut, I don't like wearing skirts most of the time (my fashion sense usually ranges from unisex to slightly masculine), my male friends treat me like "one of the boys", and I frequently gush about how beautiful other women are- but I'm only attracted to men.
* CatGirl- Haha, I wish. I do sometimes joke that I'm part cat, though, since I can see in the dark pretty well and I get along well with cats. And occasionally I'll wear fake cat ears.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}- I'm known as the weird one in my friend groups.
* CowardlyLion- While my anxiety can be debilitating and sometimes I genuinely can't handle the pressure, I usually find some way to power through whatever's scaring me.
* CreepyLonerGirl: Moreso in my younger years than now, though my loud (and somewhat monotone) voice, MessyHair, and blank expression do still leave some people uneasy. This was probably part of why I had very few friends until high school.
* DoesNotLikeShoes- I basically only wear shoes if I'm in a public place or if I have to go outside. I don't like the way they feel. They're feet traps.
* DoesNotLikeSpam/ PickyEater- My Asperger's comes with taste sensitivity, which leaves me with a lot of different foods I can't eat- but my worst are stuffing (I hate how inconsistent the texture is), most potato products, and peppers (their spiciness makes them physically painful to eat).
* TheEmpath- I feel a lot of empathy for basically everyone. It's not quite on superpower-levels, but it can be very overwhelming and it's both a blessing and a curse. It also makes it hard for me to watch sad movies for long periods of time because I get overwhelmed by how much the characters are suffering. (This is why, despite the fact that Les Mis is one of my favorite movies/musicals, I rarely watch it.) Sometimes it even extends to inanimate objects.
* FanonDiscontinuity: As far as I'm concerned, the SplitPersonalityMerge Caitlin/Killer Frost went through at the end of Season 3 of {{Series/The Flash 2014}} actually stuck.
* FanPreferredCouple- A personal example: while {{Theatre/My Fair Lady}} seems to want us to ship Eliza with Henry Higgins, I prefer her with Freddy, as though his obsessive tendencies are admittedly stalker-ish by today's standards, he's also much nicer towards her and treats her more like a human being. Downplayed, though, as George Bernard Shaw ''definitely'' had Fredliza in mind.
* FragileFlower- My feelings can be pretty delicate.
* FriendlessBackground: I was a social outcast for much of my adolescent years- my best friends were my cats. Luckily, things have improved since then and I have a steady friend group.
* GoodCannotComprehendEvil- or at the very least, Nice Cannot Comprehend Jerk. I will never understand why anyone would intentionally want to be cruel to someone else when being kind is so much easier.
* GlurgeAddict- It is EXTREMELY rare for me to find something [[TastesLikeDiabetes "too cutesy"]] or "sickeningly" sweet. As such, unless the cutesy thing is masking darker intentions, like ableism or other bigotry, there's a good chance I'll latch onto it no matter how cheesy it may be. It's the reason I can't outright hate things aimed at little girls or are over-the-top inspiring- heck, I even kind of like some Lisa Frank merchandise.
* HappilyAdopted- The reason for my second BerserkButton. My parents are amazing and I resent the idea that they're "not real parents" just because they didn't make me.
* InnocentlyInsensitive- Sometimes. And I often feel guilty about it for ''years'' afterwards.
* KindheartedCatLover- I'm a pretty nice person, and I do love cats.
* LoonWithAHeartOfGold- Even though I'm the "weird one" in my friend group and am pretty eccentric, I'm usually pretty nice.
* MistakenForGay- Happens fairly frequently- see CampStraight above for why.
* NervousWreck- I'm a fairly anxious person, and I catastrophize quite a bit. This is partially due to my Generalized Anxiety Disorder, but stressful situations only make it even worse.
* NiceGirl- I'm a pretty kind person.
* NoSocialSkills- A side effect of my Asperger's syndrome.
* NotGoodWithPeople- I still like people, but cats are much easier to understand.
* OlderThanTheyLook: I have a "baby face" and I'm not particularly curvy, so I sometimes get mistaken for a teenager. In actuality, I'm old enough to drink.
* PromotedFangirl- A minor example: I wrote a {{Literature/Harry Potter}} crackfic, titled [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12756784/1/A-Flock-of-Wolves A Flock of Wolves]], out of love for the trope it was named after. Imagine my delight to find that it had been added to [[FlockOfWolves that very trope page!]]
* SuperSenses- A side effect of my Asperger's syndrome. Contrary to what fiction may suggest, it mostly sucks.
* ThatCameOutWrong- To the point that some have compared me to Felicity Smoak from {{Series/Arrow}}.

[[/folder]]

[[folder:Tropes I like]]

* AmnesiacVillainJoinsTheHeroes

* AnIcePerson- My favorite of the ElementalPowers.

* TheAtoner

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment- when done intentionally for the sake of humor.

* BlackBeadEyes- I always find this art style pretty cute. It's part of the reason why I actually like Funko Pop figures.

* CelestialBody- I always find this trope aesthetically pleasing. I particularly love it when [[Literature/WarriorCats StarClan]] cats are depicted like this.

* CivvieSpandex: It can look really cool if done right (and it makes cosplay a lot easier). Batgirl's Rebirth-era outfit is a good example.

* CreepyCute / UglyCute- I love these types of characters!

* TheCutie

* EnmityWithAnObject- This one has never failed to make me laugh!

* HappilyAdopted- Due to being this trope myself.

* HeelFaceTurn

* TheIngenue- Show me a character like this and my maternal instincts immediately kick in.

* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy

* MamaBear- I have a strong fondness for protective moms in fiction. [[Series/{{Arrow}} Moira Queen]] is a standout example for me.

* ReformedButRejected

* ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend- When it's used less as ClingyJealousGirl and more as a romantic equivalent to tropes like PapaWolf, MamaBear, and BigBrotherInstinct. I find it especially fun if the girlfriend doesn't ''look'' like she'd be very threatening.

* WimpFight- Honestly, it's just funny.

* WordSaladHumor- "lol random" doesn't usually do it for me, but elegantly crafted nonsense gets me every time.

BONUS: Favorite Villain Tropes

It feels weird categorizing these under "tropes I like" because I feel like that may suggest some semblance of approval, but here are some of my favorite tropes for villains.

* EntitledToHaveYou/ VillainousCrush/ {{Yandere}}- I find villains that fall under this to be absolutely ''horrifying'' when done right. [[WesternAnimation/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame Judge Claude Frollo]] and [[Series/TheFlash2014 Zoom]] stand out as particularly scary ones to me, but they aren't the only ones.

* EvilIsOneBigHappyFamily- In more comedic works, it can be a nice source of unexpected wholesomeness.

* EvilIsPetty- Excellent both as a source of comedy or even when played for drama (eg. Eobard Thawne in {{Series/The Flash 2014}}. So long as it doesn't cross over into StupidEvil...

* FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse

* TheFundamentalist- But usually only if the heroes are also religious. I find religious fanatic antagonists particularly terrifying because I'm a religious person myself, and it scares me to think I could have ended up like them.

* VillainProtagonist- When done well, they can be really entertaining characters, particularly if they're pitted against another villain. Some of my favorites are Roxie Hart from Chicago and Sweeney Todd.


[[/folder]]

[[folder: Tropes I hate]]

* CatsAreMean - It's overdone, ESPECIALLY in animation, and it's simply not true (I've met far more mean dogs than I have mean cats.)
* BlindWithoutEm- "Hate" is a strong word, but I find this trope really annoying because of how often people assume it applies in real life. Most people who wear glasses (myself included) can still see decently without them- we just need them for certain tasks, such as reading or seeing things that are far away.

* CessationOfExistence- It's literally my worst fear.

* DracoInLeatherPants- To me, this one reeks of lazy writing. I'd much rather read a true redemption story than one about how (insert reasonably attractive villain here) is just a poor misunderstood little baby.

* HollywoodAutism- If you're writing an autistic character, PLEASE do your research. And said research should include more than just the textbook definition.

* HornyDevils- As someone who is sex-repulsed and whose religion teaches that demons are very, very real...this trope makes me extremely uncomfortable. I also dislike succubi being portrayed as sexy, given that their original mythology states that they are ''rapists.''

* PredatorsAreMean- Even as a kid, this one annoyed me. Animals like hawks and cats ''have'' to eat meat to survive because they can't produce their own taurine. It's not their fault, and that shouldn't automatically make them villains. (There was a Powerpuff Girls episode that especially annoyed me due to portraying a hawk in this manner.)

* RonTheDeathEater

* ScavengersAreScum: I understand this one a bit more than I do PredatorsAreMean- there's admittedly something squicky about eating carrion, particularly if it's rotten- but I actually find a lot of scavengers really cool. Vultures, in particular, can actually be downright cute, and some of them, like the California condor, are downright awe-inspiring. Gotta love those majestic chickens.


* StalkingIsFunnyIfItsFemaleAfterMale: Personally, I believe stalking ''can'' be funny in a BlackComedy context. But if the humor solely derives from the fact that the stalker is female- and if the writers wouldn't want you to laugh if the genders were reversed- that's decidedly not funny.

* {{Stripperiffic}}- I don't mind if outfits are a ''little'' sexy, but this is usually too much for me. Unless you've got a really good explanation, like how {{ComicBook/Black Canary}}'s fishnets are part of her rockstar ensemble and she uses the same outfit for both, I'm gonna find it cringeworthy. {{ComicBook/Huntress}}'s exposed stomach and {{ComicBook/Power Girl}}'s boob window are the worst offenders for me (that boob window would create so much drag when she flies!), which is a shame, because I actually really like both of them as characters. That said, this is more of an annoying trope than an actually ''hated'' trope, and the fact that some ''male'' superheroes dress surprisingly skimpily (like Vibe having a plunging neckline or how Dick Grayson!Robin didn't wear pants) makes it a bit more tolerable.

[[folder:Works I like]]

* {{Series/The Flash 2014}}

* {{Literature/Warrior Cats}}

* {{Literature/Harry Potter}}

* {{Theatre/Les Miserables}}

* {{Series/Arrow}}

* {{Series/Supergirl 2015}}

* {{Series/Legends of Tomorrow}}

* {{WesternAnimation/Avatar The Last Airbender}}

* {{Theatre/The Phantom of the Opera}}

* {{Theatre/Wicked}}

* {{Theatre/Chicago}}

* {{Literature/The Lord of the Rings}}

* {{Literature/Animorphs}}

* {{Film/Sweeney Todd}}- a rare case where I prefer the film to the stage version. I like the dark atmosphere.

* {{Film/Little Shop of Horrors}}

* {{WebAnimation/DC Super Hero Girls}}

* {{Theatre/Next To Normal}}

* {{ComicBook/Justice League Of America Rebirth}}

* {{Literature/Carrie}} (as well as both the 1976 and 2013 film versions.)

* {{WesternAnimation/The Lion King}}- One of two Disney movies tied for the position of "my favorite"; the other is {{WesternAnimation/The Hunchback of Notre Dame}}.

* {{WesternAnimation/The Lion Guard}}- I didn't expect a lot going into this one but it's...actually good. They've dealt with complex themes like death (Simba attending a funeral for an elephant friend of his) and racism (Kion learning that not all hyenas are bad). It's fairly mature for a Disney Junior show, and while it's not perfect, it's still pretty good.

* {{Manga/With The Light}}- By far the most sensitive portrayal of autism I have ever seen in media. There's a clear sense of research and love put into this, and I love the relationship between the autistic child, Hikaru, and his mother, Sachiko.

* {{VideoGame/Lego DC Super Villains}}- This is, no joke, some of the most fun I've ever had playing a video game. (It's also one of only two console games I know of that lets you play as the Caitlin Snow incarnation of Killer Frost.)

* Some of the better DCEU movies, including:

** {{Film/Wonder Woman 2017}}

** {{Film/Shazam}}

** {{Film/Aquaman}}

** {{Film/Birds of Prey 2020}}- This movie was fun and frankly I don't trust people who call it bad.
* {{Series/Forensic Files}}- I normally don't care for true crime shows but something about this one is addictive. I find it fascinating how many things can be evidence, and both Peter Thompson and Bill Camp have soothing voices that take some of the scare factor away. I also like that unlike most true crime shows, they sometimes have episodes that ''aren't'' about murder.

...and many, many others that will be added later.

[[/folder]]

[[folder:Guilty Pleasures]]

Media that I don't consider "good" from a technical standpoint, but still enjoy, include:

* {{Series/Animorphs}}- While it's extremely low-budget and fails to capture the gritty war story the books told, it's still fun on its own. It falls under NarmCharm for me, and many of the actors give good performances.

* {{Film/Batman And Robin}}- Mainly because Arnold Schwarzenegger and Uma Thurman actually gave pretty good performances. I also don't mind the cheesiness, as it manages to be ''entertainingly'' cheesy.

* {{Film/Christmas With The Kranks}}- I can't hate this movie. It's indecisive about what it wants to be, but it definitely succeeds in delivering humor. I get why people dislike it, but for me, a lot of the jokes are pretty darn funny.

* The Star Wars prequels- There is a lot of cheese, wooden performances, and weird dialogue in these movies, but there's a certain charm to all of it. I genuinely like the romance between Anakin and Padme even if it struggles to be compelling, the special effects are pretty darn good, and it's a joy to watch Yoda in a lightsaber duel. (Also Padme is a total fashion icon and I want every single one of her dresses.)

[[/folder]]

[[folder:Ships I like]]

* {{Theatre/Sweeney Todd The Demon Barber of Fleet Street}}:
** Sweenett (Sweeney Todd/Eleanor Lovett): Honestly, it's hard for me to NOT ship these two. Mrs. Lovett's affection for him is somehow creepy and adorable at the same time!
** Johanthony (Johanna and Anthony): So pure! Anthony just wants to give this pretty girl a good life! How could I disagree with that?

* {{Series/The Flash 2014}}:
** Westallen (Barry and Iris): These two are so adorable! I've always shipped them, but I became an even bigger fan of them after Barry proposed to her by singing a song he'd written.
** Killervibe (Caitlin and Cisco): I started shipping these two towards the end of Season 2. I'm okay with them being just friends, but I also think they'd make a very healthy couple due to just how supportive they are of each other.

* {{Theatre/The Phantom of the Opera}}:
** Raoul and Christine: Seriously, these two set the standard for what I want in a relationship. I want to find my Raoul, someone who'll guard me and guide me and all that. These two are so healthy and sweet and I LOVE them. (Love Never dies is not canon fight me.)

** Saying "real parents" instead of "biological parents", implying adoptive parents aren't good enough.
** On a lighter note, mentioning the Evil!Spottedleaf AU in a positive light is bound to tick me off, as Canon!Nice!Spottedleaf is the character in Warriors I relate to most (and a major comfort character to boot) and I'm sick of how popular the AU has become- seriously, I can't even Google her without it coming up. Just...It's fine if you like the Evil Spottedleaf AU, but please don't bring it up around me.
** In general, don't bash characters I'm a fan of unless you're stating something that's actually valid. Saying you dislike Bellatrix because she's cruel? Fine and dandy, and accurate. Saying you hate Caitlin Snow because [=SnowBarry=] shippers are annoying? Not fine, and a pathetic excuse for hating her.
** Shipping Caitlin with [[NoYay Amunet Black]]. And really, Amunet Black as a character in general.
** Excessively bashing religions you're not a part of. Having issues with a religion is one thing, but mocking someone else's faith- something important to them- leaves a bad taste in my mouth.
* CampStraight- I guess I could be a rare female example, whatever you'd call that. I've thought of getting a boy-short haircut, I don't like wearing skirts most of the time (my fashion sense usually ranges from unisex to slightly masculine), my male friends treat me like "one of the boys", and I frequently gush about how beautiful other women are- but I'm only attracted to men.
* CatGirl- Haha, I wish. I do sometimes joke that I'm part cat, though, since I can see in the dark pretty well and I get along well with cats. And occasionally I'll wear fake cat ears.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}- I'm known as the weird one in my friend groups.
* CowardlyLion- While my anxiety can be debilitating and sometimes I genuinely can't handle the pressure, I usually find some way to power through whatever's scaring me.
* CreepyLonerGirl: Moreso in my younger years than now, though my loud (and somewhat monotone) voice, MessyHair, and blank expression do still leave some people uneasy. This was probably part of why I had very few friends until high school.
* DoesNotLikeShoes- I basically only wear shoes if I'm in a public place or if I have to go outside. I don't like the way they feel. They're feet traps.
* DoesNotLikeSpam/ PickyEater- My Asperger's comes with taste sensitivity, which leaves me with a lot of different foods I can't eat- but my worst are stuffing (I hate how inconsistent the texture is), most potato products, and peppers (their spiciness makes them physically painful to eat).
* TheEmpath- I feel a lot of empathy for basically everyone. It's not quite on superpower-levels, but it can be very overwhelming and it's both a blessing and a curse. It also makes it hard for me to watch sad movies for long periods of time because I get overwhelmed by how much the characters are suffering. (This is why, despite the fact that Les Mis is one of my favorite movies/musicals, I rarely watch it.) Sometimes it even extends to inanimate objects.
* FanonDiscontinuity: As far as I'm concerned, the SplitPersonalityMerge Caitlin/Killer Frost went through at the end of Season 3 of {{Series/The Flash 2014}} actually stuck.
* FanPreferredCouple- A personal example: while {{Theatre/My Fair Lady}} seems to want us to ship Eliza with Henry Higgins, I prefer her with Freddy, as though his obsessive tendencies are admittedly stalker-ish by today's standards, he's also much nicer towards her and treats her more like a human being. Downplayed, though, as George Bernard Shaw ''definitely'' had Fredliza in mind.
* FragileFlower- My feelings can be pretty delicate.
* FriendlessBackground: I was a social outcast for much of my adolescent years- my best friends were my cats. Luckily, things have improved since then and I have a steady friend group.
* GoodCannotComprehendEvil- or at the very least, Nice Cannot Comprehend Jerk. I will never understand why anyone would intentionally want to be cruel to someone else when being kind is so much easier.
* GlurgeAddict- It is EXTREMELY rare for me to find something [[TastesLikeDiabetes "too cutesy"]] or "sickeningly" sweet. As such, unless the cutesy thing is masking darker intentions, like ableism or other bigotry, there's a good chance I'll latch onto it no matter how cheesy it may be. It's the reason I can't outright hate things aimed at little girls or are over-the-top inspiring- heck, I even kind of like some Lisa Frank merchandise.
* HappilyAdopted- The reason for my second BerserkButton. My parents are amazing and I resent the idea that they're "not real parents" just because they didn't make me.
* InnocentlyInsensitive- Sometimes. And I often feel guilty about it for ''years'' afterwards.
* KindheartedCatLover- I'm a pretty nice person, and I do love cats.
* LoonWithAHeartOfGold- Even though I'm the "weird one" in my friend group and am pretty eccentric, I'm usually pretty nice.
* MistakenForGay- Happens fairly frequently- see CampStraight above for why.
* NervousWreck- I'm a fairly anxious person, and I catastrophize quite a bit. This is partially due to my Generalized Anxiety Disorder, but stressful situations only make it even worse.
* NiceGirl- I'm a pretty kind person.
* NoSocialSkills- A side effect of my Asperger's syndrome.
* NotGoodWithPeople- I still like people, but cats are much easier to understand.
* OlderThanTheyLook: I have a "baby face" and I'm not particularly curvy, so I sometimes get mistaken for a teenager. In actuality, I'm old enough to drink.
* PromotedFangirl- A minor example: I wrote a {{Literature/Harry Potter}} crackfic, titled [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12756784/1/A-Flock-of-Wolves A Flock of Wolves]], out of love for the trope it was named after. Imagine my delight to find that it had been added to [[FlockOfWolves that very trope page!]]
* SuperSenses- A side effect of my Asperger's syndrome. Contrary to what fiction may suggest, it mostly sucks.
* ThatCameOutWrong- To the point that some have compared me to Felicity Smoak from {{Series/Arrow}}.

[[/folder]]

[[folder:Tropes I like]]

* AmnesiacVillainJoinsTheHeroes

* AnIcePerson- My favorite of the ElementalPowers.

* TheAtoner

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment- when done intentionally for the sake of humor.

* BlackBeadEyes- I always find this art style pretty cute. It's part of the reason why I actually like Funko Pop figures.

* CelestialBody- I always find this trope aesthetically pleasing. I particularly love it when [[Literature/WarriorCats StarClan]] cats are depicted like this.

* CivvieSpandex: It can look really cool if done right (and it makes cosplay a lot easier). Batgirl's Rebirth-era outfit is a good example.

* CreepyCute / UglyCute- I love these types of characters!

* TheCutie

* EnmityWithAnObject- This one has never failed to make me laugh!

* HappilyAdopted- Due to being this trope myself.

* HeelFaceTurn

* TheIngenue- Show me a character like this and my maternal instincts immediately kick in.

* IWantMyBelovedToBeHappy

* MamaBear- I have a strong fondness for protective moms in fiction. [[Series/{{Arrow}} Moira Queen]] is a standout example for me.

* ReformedButRejected

* ViolentlyProtectiveGirlfriend- When it's used less as ClingyJealousGirl and more as a romantic equivalent to tropes like PapaWolf, MamaBear, and BigBrotherInstinct. I find it especially fun if the girlfriend doesn't ''look'' like she'd be very threatening.

* WimpFight- Honestly, it's just funny.

* WordSaladHumor- "lol random" doesn't usually do it for me, but elegantly crafted nonsense gets me every time.

BONUS: Favorite Villain Tropes

It feels weird categorizing these under "tropes I like" because I feel like that may suggest some semblance of approval, but here are some of my favorite tropes for villains.

* EntitledToHaveYou/ VillainousCrush/ {{Yandere}}- I find villains that fall under this to be absolutely ''horrifying'' when done right. [[WesternAnimation/TheHunchbackOfNotreDame Judge Claude Frollo]] and [[Series/TheFlash2014 Zoom]] stand out as particularly scary ones to me, but they aren't the only ones.

* EvilIsOneBigHappyFamily- In more comedic works, it can be a nice source of unexpected wholesomeness.

* EvilIsPetty- Excellent both as a source of comedy or even when played for drama (eg. Eobard Thawne in {{Series/The Flash 2014}}. So long as it doesn't cross over into StupidEvil...

* FreudianExcuseIsNoExcuse

* TheFundamentalist- But usually only if the heroes are also religious. I find religious fanatic antagonists particularly terrifying because I'm a religious person myself, and it scares me to think I could have ended up like them.

* VillainProtagonist- When done well, they can be really entertaining characters, particularly if they're pitted against another villain. Some of my favorites are Roxie Hart from Chicago and Sweeney Todd.


[[/folder]]

[[folder: Tropes I hate]]

* CatsAreMean - It's overdone, ESPECIALLY in animation, and it's simply not true (I've met far more mean dogs than I have mean cats.)
* BlindWithoutEm- "Hate" is a strong word, but I find this trope really annoying because of how often people assume it applies in real life. Most people who wear glasses (myself included) can still see decently without them- we just need them for certain tasks, such as reading or seeing things that are far away.

* CessationOfExistence- It's literally my worst fear.

* DracoInLeatherPants- To me, this one reeks of lazy writing. I'd much rather read a true redemption story than one about how (insert reasonably attractive villain here) is just a poor misunderstood little baby.

* HollywoodAutism- If you're writing an autistic character, PLEASE do your research. And said research should include more than just the textbook definition.

* HornyDevils- As someone who is sex-repulsed and whose religion teaches that demons are very, very real...this trope makes me extremely uncomfortable. I also dislike succubi being portrayed as sexy, given that their original mythology states that they are ''rapists.''

* PredatorsAreMean- Even as a kid, this one annoyed me. Animals like hawks and cats ''have'' to eat meat to survive because they can't produce their own taurine. It's not their fault, and that shouldn't automatically make them villains. (There was a Powerpuff Girls episode that especially annoyed me due to portraying a hawk in this manner.)

* RonTheDeathEater

* ScavengersAreScum: I understand this one a bit more than I do PredatorsAreMean- there's admittedly something squicky about eating carrion, particularly if it's rotten- but I actually find a lot of scavengers really cool. Vultures, in particular, can actually be downright cute, and some of them, like the California condor, are downright awe-inspiring. Gotta love those majestic chickens.


* StalkingIsFunnyIfItsFemaleAfterMale: Personally, I believe stalking ''can'' be funny in a BlackComedy context. But if the humor solely derives from the fact that the stalker is female- and if the writers wouldn't want you to laugh if the genders were reversed- that's decidedly not funny.

* {{Stripperiffic}}- I don't mind if outfits are a ''little'' sexy, but this is usually too much for me. Unless you've got a really good explanation, like how {{ComicBook/Black Canary}}'s fishnets are part of her rockstar ensemble and she uses the same outfit for both, I'm gonna find it cringeworthy. {{ComicBook/Huntress}}'s exposed stomach and {{ComicBook/Power Girl}}'s boob window are the worst offenders for me (that boob window would create so much drag when she flies!), which is a shame, because I actually really like both of them as characters. That said, this is more of an annoying trope than an actually ''hated'' trope, and the fact that some ''male'' superheroes dress surprisingly skimpily (like Vibe having a plunging neckline or how Dick Grayson!Robin didn't wear pants) makes it a bit more tolerable.

* {{Theatre/Wicked}}

* {{Theatre/Chicago}}

* {{Literature/The Lord of the Rings}}

* {{Film/Sweeney Todd}}- a rare case where I prefer the film to the stage version. I like the dark atmosphere.

* {{Film/Little Shop of Horrors}}

* {{WebAnimation/DC Super Hero Girls}}

* {{Theatre/Next To Normal}}

* {{ComicBook/Justice League Of America Rebirth}}

* {{Literature/Carrie}} (as well as both the 1976 and 2013 film versions.)

* {{WesternAnimation/The Lion King}}- One of two Disney movies tied for the position of "my favorite"; the other is {{WesternAnimation/The Hunchback of Notre Dame}}.

* {{WesternAnimation/The Lion Guard}}- I didn't expect a lot going into this one but it's...actually good. They've dealt with complex themes like death (Simba attending a funeral for an elephant friend of his) and racism (Kion learning that not all hyenas are bad). It's fairly mature for a Disney Junior show, and while it's not perfect, it's still pretty good.

* {{Manga/With The Light}}- By far the most sensitive portrayal of autism I have ever seen in media.
There's a clear sense of research and love put into this, and I love the relationship between the autistic child, Hikaru, and his mother, Sachiko.

* {{VideoGame/Lego DC Super Villains}}- This is, no joke, some of the most fun I've ever had playing a video game. (It's also one of only two console games I know of that lets you play as the Caitlin Snow incarnation of Killer Frost.)

* Some of the better DCEU movies, including:

** {{Film/Wonder Woman 2017}}

** {{Film/Shazam}}

** {{Film/Aquaman}}

** {{Film/Birds of Prey 2020}}- This movie was fun and frankly I don't trust people who call it bad.
* {{Series/Forensic Files}}- I normally don't care for true crime shows but something about this one is addictive. I find it fascinating how many things can be evidence, and both Peter Thompson and Bill Camp have soothing voices that take some of the scare factor away. I also like that unlike most true crime shows, they sometimes have episodes that ''aren't'' about murder.

...and many, many others that will be added later.

[[/folder]]

[[folder:Guilty Pleasures]]

Media that I don't consider "good" from a technical standpoint, but still enjoy, include:

* {{Series/Animorphs}}- While it's extremely low-budget and fails to capture the gritty war story the books told, it's still fun on its own. It falls under NarmCharm for me, and many of the actors give good performances.

* {{Film/Batman And Robin}}- Mainly because Arnold Schwarzenegger and Uma Thurman actually gave pretty good performances. I also don't mind the cheesiness, as it manages to be ''entertainingly'' cheesy.

* {{Film/Christmas With The Kranks}}- I can't hate this movie. It's indecisive about what it wants to be, but it definitely succeeds in delivering humor. I get why people dislike it, but for me, a lot of the jokes are pretty darn funny.

* The Star Wars prequels- There is a lot of cheese, wooden performances, and weird dialogue in these movies, but there's a certain charm to all of it. I genuinely like the romance between Anakin and Padme even if it struggles to be compelling, the special effects are pretty darn good, and it's a joy to watch Yoda in a lightsaber duel. (Also Padme is a total fashion icon and I want every single one of her dresses.)

[[/folder]]

[[folder:Ships I like]]

* {{Theatre/Sweeney Todd The Demon Barber of Fleet Street}}:
** Sweenett (Sweeney Todd/Eleanor Lovett): Honestly, it's hard for me to NOT ship these two. Mrs. Lovett's affection for him is somehow creepy and adorable at the same time!
** Johanthony (Johanna and Anthony): So pure! Anthony just wants to give this pretty girl a good life! How could I disagree with that?

* {{Series/The Flash 2014}}:
** Westallen (Barry and Iris): These two are so adorable! I've always shipped them, but I became an even bigger fan of them after Barry proposed to her by singing a song he'd written.
** Killervibe (Caitlin and Cisco): I started shipping these two towards the end of Season 2. I'm okay with them being just friends, but I also think they'd make a very healthy couple due to just how supportive they are of each other.

* {{Theatre/The Phantom of the Opera}}:
** Raoul and Christine: Seriously, these two set the standard for what I want in a relationship. I want to find my Raoul, someone who'll guard me and guide me and all that. These two are so healthy and sweet and I LOVE them. (Love Never dies is not canon fight me.)

And since everyone else seems to be doing this, the three characters that best describe me are: [[Series/TheFlash2014 Caitlin Snow]] (intelligent, blunt, a bit ambitious, typically nice so long as you don't get on my bad side, rather pessimistic, a big nerd, and very unlucky in love); [[Film/FantasticBeastsAndWhereToFindThem Newt Scamander]] (eccentric, socially awkward, better with animals than with people, and not that great in terms of self-esteem); and [[Film/LittleShopOfHorrors Audrey Fulquard]] (a hopeless romantic, fairly innocent in terms of overall outlook, and addicted to sweet and cute things.)

I've thought of getting a boy-short haircut, I don't like wearing skirts most of the time (my fashion sense usually ranges from unisex to slightly masculine), my male friends treat me like "one of the boys", and I frequently gush about how beautiful other women are- but I'm only attracted to men.

* FanPreferredCouple- A personal example: while {{Theatre/My Fair Lady}} seems to want us to ship Eliza with Henry Higgins, I prefer her with Freddy, as though his obsessive tendencies are admittedly stalker-ish by today's standards, he's also much nicer towards her and treats her more like a human being.
